MUMBAI – Production of crude palm oil in Malaysia fell 4.2% on month to 1.18 million tonnes in February, according to preliminary data from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board released Monday. Month-end palm oil stocks and exports also declined in February, the data showed.
In February, Malaysia's palm oil exports fell 16.3% on month to 1 million tonnes and stocks were down 4.3% at 1.5 million tonnes, the data showed. Malaysia is the world's second-largest producer of crude palm oil and India is the largest consumer of edible oils.
At 1151 IST, the most-active May contract of crude palm oil was at 4,607 ringgits (INR 90,649.82) per tonne, down 0.4% from the previous close. However, concerns over slower production in Malaysia's key growing areas and expectations of stronger demand from India are supporting prices, Dow Jones quoted AmInvestment Bank as saying in a note. Technical analysis suggests CPO futures appear bullish, and traders may consider initiating long positions if prices adjust, it added.
Support for the May contract is seen at 4,525 ringgits per tonne and resistance at 4,688 ringgits per tonne.
The following table details Malaysia's palm oil output, exports, and stocks for February compared with the previous month:
